Cakebread Cellars has built its reputation on Chardonnay. Owner and founder Jack Cakebread has been producing wine for over 30 years. Cakebread’s Chardonnays are consistently some of the best from the Golden State.

Conn Creek Winery was established in 1973. They first made a name for themselves with the 1974 Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery is located off of Rutherford Crossroad between Highway 29 and Silverado Trail.

Before planting Chardonnay in 1980, David and Bob Long both already had extensive farming experience. Winemaking was a new task, and their first efforts were a little unbalanced, but they picked it up remarkably quickly.
